Billie Jean by Michael Jackson - released in 1983 - propelled ‘Thriller’ to become the best-selling album of all time.

*****

There is a theory that Billie Jean was a real person. But Jackson said it’s based on the groupies that used to hang around Jackson and his brothers when they were in the Jackson 5.

*****

Jackson’s producer, Quincy Jones, worried people would confuse the song’s name with the tennis player Billie Jean King so wanted to change the name to ‘Not My Lover’. Jackson and Jones quarrelled over the title of the song: Jackson won the battle.

*****

Jackson reportedly nailed the vocals in one take. The son’g music video drew attention to MTV and kickstarted its significance in popular culture. It also finally broken the grip of racists in charge who refused to play videos featuring black performers.

*****

In 2012 the handwritten lyrics to ‘Billie Jean’ sold for £24,984 at auction.

*****

Catchy at always, Billie Jean blends post-disco, rhythm & blues, funk and dance-pop. Just try to not dance - or get it stuck in your head!

Jean-Michel Basquiat was a pop icon, cultural figure, graffiti artist, musician & neo-expressionist painter.

*****

He had many high-profile friendships: including brief relationships with Madonna and David Bowie and a long-time collaboration with Andy Warhol. He also appeared in the music video “Rapture” by Blondie.

*****

Basquiat began with spray painting buildings in Lower Manhattan in the 1970’s under the pseudonym SAMO.

Later, he worked on his paintings in $1,000 Armani suits and would appear in public with them: splattered in paint.

*****

He appeared on the cover of New York Times Magazine in 1986.

*****

Many exhibitions of his works have been held, and biopics, books, collections of poems and feature films have all been inspired by his work and life.
